Briarley

[osprey_archer]

OH HEY YOU GUYS MY BOOK IS LIVE.

It is Briarley, an m/m World War II-era retelling of Beauty and the Beast where the beast is a dragon-person and the Beauty character is an English country parson who refuses to fork over his daughter when the beast tries to entice him into exchanging her for his freedom.

Also included: an adorable dog. Meditations on the nature of love. Much description of food, more roses than anyone necessarily needs, exegesis on the apostle Paul (that's what everyone wants in their historical m/m romance am I right?) and kissing.

Also one of my beta readers confessed to me that "I gave up on beta-reading halfway in and just started plowing through because I needed to know what happens next" which is surely the highest possible praise that anyone could give a story.

Someone I don't even know has left a wonderful review on Amazon, too.

I saw that review--it was **excellent**.

Also, someone on Twitter was like, Where can I read more by this person, could she possibly have written elsewhere under a different name?? So I pointed them to the coffee shop romances :-)
